Example: Two canines mating allows for the dog tag but two furrydog girls having sex each other does not.

Good Tags

Contents/Fetishes

As long as they are relevant sexually. When in doubt it is better not to tag them.

Languages

Tagged in their English equivalent (e.g. Spanish not Espanol).

Circles

Names of the circles/groups that published the work. Should NOT be added when they are not officially credited (e.g. most Manga).

Artists

Names of the artists who drew portions or all of the work and were officially credited as such. Japanese artists should be written as Hepburn romanizations; some exceptions are made for artists that consistently spell their names otherwise.

Original Series

Names of the series that are being parodied. Should be as specific as possible (e.g. dragon quest viii instead of dragon quest) if the sub-series passes presence. A combination of images from different sub-series that passes presence (wherein the aforementioned sub-series do not pass individually) uses the generic series tag.

Participants

Names of characters (including cosplaying) participating in the gallery. Original characters (non-parodies) that do not exist outside of their own works should not be tagged.

Non-pornographic works may only have the most focused characters be tagged.

Character names are preferred in full and in their western order: given name(s) followed by family name. e.g. hinata hyuga. There are rare exceptions.

Any character who transforms beyond that of a costume change (to the point where a casual observer cannot tell they are the same person) is to be tagged with their alias (should they have one). e.g. peashy vs. yellow heart.

A genderbent character is preferred be tagged with their regular name. Exceptions apply to characters that act independent of their normal gender's persona. e.g. naruko and kyonko.

Tag Directory

Information Sources

The information used to tag a gallery should nearly always be based solely on the contents of the images in the gallery itself. The gallery's title or 3rd party sites do NOT qualify as sources in the majority of cases.

Exceptions:

Parodies have all of their canon counted as existing information (unless the dialogue indicates otherwise).

Artist names may be gotten from a verifiable source if they are omitted from the gallery (e.g. works where only the circle name is used).

The title may be used as proof of incest (unless the dialogue indicates otherwise).

Participants' genders being extremely vague may use a verifiable source to identify them.

Category tags should only be used to change an improperly categorized gallery. Once such a tag receives 100 power the category will switch. Reclass tags are automatically pruned from galleries after 30 days of not being voted upon. If multiple reclass tags are present (over 100 power) the one with the highest power will be used.
